NORA 2.0

Author's review

A VST polyphonic arpeggiator with DAW technology that allows the creation of solo melodies and rhythmic basslines

Nora is a pattern based arpeggiator / phrase sequencer that is designed to allow the creation of solo melodies, rhythmic basslines, or stabs.

It employs the workflow of a DAW for a creative, simple and quick edition with a complete integration among the modules. Nora can be sequenced by either a linear manner or by patterns triggered by MIDI.

Thanks to its polyphonic piano-roll technology and its real-time effects, Nora gives the user complete control over the arpeggiator pattern (note-length, overlapping notes/chords, velocities, spaces between notes, etc.)

It supports up to eight simultaneous tracks, each of them with an arpeggiator engine and individual settings, like MIDI routing.

Nora's MIDI engine has been re-designed from scratch to offer more precision at the sample-level. This way, Nora produces an output that is loyal to the input, without perceptible latency.

Moreover, it supports two operation modes: "Free", a mode in which output notes are always in line with input chords, and "Static", in which input chords are adapted to the notes of Nora, resulting in smoother changes.

Features:

Sample accurate engine.

Complete real-time edition.

Edit up to 5 octaves and 5 notes per octave.

8 tracks with 8 independent arpeggiators.

Playlist module: It allows each track being sequenced in two ways: As a classic DAW, or as a Pattern Chainer.

Pattern editor with 24 pattern per track.

2 pattern-changing modes, controllable via MIDI: 'In queue', a mode in which each pattern waits for its turn to start playing and, 'instant' in which the change is played immediately, maintaining the synchrony with the DAW.
